Are you offended by The lyrics to Katy Perry's song "Your so gay"? I bring this up because i had this convo in chat shortly the other day. I always loved this song. I thought the video was cute and funny, and the song was very catchy. I found myself singing it as i walked around i liked it so much. But, i never really stopped to think of what the lyrics really mean... "Your so gay, and you dont even like boys" ...some people seem to think she is saying "Your so stupid" and using gay as a word for stupid, some people seem to think she is saying "You act so gay for a straight man", and some people like me never even thought about it before. Some people also think she is making a double standard. Its ok "for girls to kiss girls" because thats sexy, but then she says "your so gay" in a negative way in another song? So what do YOU think? Is this offensive to you, or could you care less? [YOUTUBE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=10YmixzFSDw[/YOUTUBE]
I could care less. Considering her "bff" is Perez Hilton, who, if we had fag awards, would be Meryl Streep, I highly doubt she meant to offend gay people.
I don't find it offensive. She is using the word "gay" to mean the things that stereotypical gay men do. I mean, yes, she's stengthening the stereotype, but big MEH. In contrast, there are artists whose songs advocate "shooting up fags", so I'm not going to devote any energy to finding something so meaningless offensive
hu cud be offended by katy perry shes like the coolest person in the history of cool. I fink ppl have a good sense of humour and wont read to much into it
Meh whatever. There are FAR, FAR worse anti-gay lyrics. Ever heard of The Raunchous Brothers? You do NOT wanna know. OK here are 2 song titles Kill Every Gay Dying in Pain
Meh. Who's going to remember her in two years anyway? "Oh yeah... that girl... who did the gay songs?"
I'd take the Katy Perry song over that crap anyday. Eventhough I depise aminstream pop music. I will say, aside from lyrical content I'd take Raunchous Bros over KP. good instrumentation, especially Dying in Pain.
I love it. And, I love Katy Perry. *directs Brian's attention to other threads relating to Ur So Gay*
greg. did i give you the idea for such a lovely thread? seeing as i am the only one on here who very much dislikes her. katy perry is one of the worst things to happen to music. i put her up there with hannah montana, the guy that sings that 80s song about wearing his sunglasses at night and whenever chris crocker decides he/it wants to sing. >_< *waits to be stoned*
It's more about how she says being gay = being effeminate. And she's saying that straight guys shouldn't be effeminate, or "gay". It's a bit close minded really.
